Boycott Arden Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2008 00:42:03 -0800 From: "Aldo Billingslea" <Abillingslea@scu.edu To: <margaret.bartley@cengage.com Subject: Pat Parker and Arden Shakespeare In the 22 productions I have performed of Shakespeare, the Arden often served as a valuable resource. The meticulously crafted texts are trusted in rehearsal halls by actors and by scholars in the classroom. However; because of Cengage's reaffirmation of the termination of an extraordinary scholar the caliber of Pat Parker, I have purchased my last Arden. Because of Cengage's reaffirmation of the termination of Pat Parker, and the fact that they continue to ignore the voices of their most loyal and invested constituents, I will no longer require your texts of my students at Santa Clara University, nor recommend them to my colleagues at California Shakespeare, Utah Shakespearean, the Old Globe and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Sincerely, Aldo Billingslea Associate Professor of Theatre Arts
